The year 2023 marked the 150th anniversary of Poole Pottery. This British manufacturer, established in 1873, opened their first factory at the quayside in the Dorset town of Poole. The designs of their talented ceramicists and designers contributed greatly to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco period as well as the Modernist movement. The shapes, designs and colours used by the artists employed by the Poole Pottery were made to be recognised and are collected the world over.
This example of a Poole Pottery medium bouquet sized vase is decorated with one of their popular designs. Named 'Odyssey' it is hand painted in a deep red colour with a range of contrast colours such as orange, green and blue. Totally unexpected is the use of a striking royal blue colour for the interior. The shiny glaze protects the outer surface and locks in the colours. Ideal for adding a lovely splash of colour to all interiors.
This Poole Pottery Odyssey vase is in first class condition. It is without chips, cracks and restoration, the bottom piece carries factory marks and artist initial.
